VIX'daily3
Summary
A clear break higher in the VIX... and if you can accept the notion of at least another day higher to 17/18s.. then you have to also be seeking the sp'2040s.
I am aware some are seeking the sp'2000/1975 zone... but that would necessitate a sustained move under Dow 17000, and right now.. that looks difficult.
--
notable weakness: BABA
Ugly daily chart... nothing good there. Even clown finance TV were bitchy after the CEO's rather robot-communistic interview.
--
For the moment, I am holding short the market... but I will certainly look to be fully closed out by the Friday close.
-
*awaiting the latest EIA oil report at 10.30am... If Oil breaks under the March low in the $42s today... it'll really drag the main market with it into the afternoon... and tomorrow.
-
10.08am.. notable weakness, airlines, DAL/UAL, both lower by around -5%.
sp'2061.. VIX 15.60s. .... The 2040s with VIX 17/18s.. look a likely cycle peak... late today.. or tomorrow.
-
10.28am... EXITED VIX-long from 16.20....
I've a tight stop on INTC-short... looking to get out.
--
Call it overly twitchy... but after the last few weeks, I want to start afresh.
-
10.29am.. EXITED INTC-short.. from 28.85. Failed trade.... it just didn't sell lower as expected.
-
10.40am... a bit of market chop... VIX has already cooled to the 15.70s.... there is an obvious gap zone.... more at 11am
